    In the middle of the nature, no-noise, staff was very helpful. Foods were delicious. You feel you are in safe place. Even if there is no grid in the area, we had power when we need.

    the lodge is not new, some little maintenance could improve the experience that remains overall very positive. some more advice on the route to the hotel would be recommended. not easy drive, but it was expected being a lodge in the middle of samburu park.

    nice hotel, very nice and comfortable rooms. in the middle of the savana. food good quality. staff very pleasant and supportive.

    My guide and chauffør were very, very unhappy with there sleeping quarters. The bed was apparently just terrible and although the complained it was to no avail. This is most unsafisfactory for me as my chauffør needs a good night's sleep.. I hope this will improve for others.

    The drive to the property from the reserve gate was awful. We didn’t have a 4x4 and that is definitely needed.

    The staff and the food were excellent, we felt very well looked after. Rooms were perfect.

    'Budget' - Lodge within Samburu National Reserve
    • Leisure trip

    • Deluxe Queen Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    If you are not planning to drive around yourself the price for a half/ full day safari was 195 USD/ 351 USD for a private car, which seemed quite expensive to us. But maybe worth seeing if you can find others in the Lodge to share, we ended up drive by ourselves. While the location is beautiful on a higher part of Samburu, it is worth noting that most animals and game drives will be around the river area.

    Food was nice and plenty of selection for all meals. Staff was really helpful and accommodating. Even though it is a big hotel (60 rooms) it still feels private, but I can image it can get quite busy at times with big groups staying at the Lodge.

    Lodge is 23km of gravel road from the park gate. Do not use a regular sedan. Pool is out of use being renovated. We were not told in advance. Few animals come to the almost empty cement waterhole Gardens all parched. Needs landscaping. We got wrong info on arranging a safari drive - unkept driver, messy car with no door, poor knowledge of fauna and flora, wrong payment information. We got wrong directions to neighbouring lodge pool. Lucky to get right directions from another staffer. More rough road. That lodge had better meals so we stayed for lunch. Only one water bottle in room in very hot climate. Not enough. Buffet meals are of average standard, fish burned, meats overcooked, not anough fruit.

    All meals buffet of average standard. WiFi available in dining room. Staff friendly

    To far from everything, not much to do. Would not spend more than two nights here. Also there were no information about the tax fee that you need to pay extra everyday you stay there.

    Beautiful, nice personal.

    The food was sub-standard for a true lodge - both the breakfast offering and the dinner buffet. Restaurant and bar staff require a higher level of training in their job roles. The pool filter does not operate - it is un-chlorinated, unsanitary and not safe to swim in. It needs urgent attention. Investment is required to lift this property up to its previous standards and its full potential.

    Styling and design of rooms as ‘bomas’ was quaint. Reception staff were attentive. The suite was immaculately clean & has a spacious bathroom with good water pressure, nice hot water and range of bathroom amenities.
